Being an artist, this is without doubt absolutely my favorite by da Vinci. The distinct rendering of the eyes, the beautiful suggestion of the hair on the left side of face bring absolute life beyond precedent. All those who draw and paint be aware.The human heart cannot helped be moved by the elegance displayed in this most brilliant of drawings. In my humble opinion.
This drawing is absolutely heavenly. The master Leonardo da Vinci can express more feeling, more subtlety, and more life with fewer lines. This should be a lesson to all of us that we shouldn't over render. If you can't put life into a drawing with fewer lines, more lines aren't the answer.
I know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any help you can offer me.
"lines following the direction of the light source" this always occured to me somehow but never could think of a way how to tell it. Now observing Da Vinci's study with your insights have enlightened me. Thanks for this and please keep it up!!!
Your thoughtful devotion to presenting many dimensions of the expressions in the arts is important to others. We need to constantly enrich the creative side of human nature. Thank you for sharing these thoughts.
Brilliant analysis of DaVinci's genius in drawing. Yes! The line is EVERYTHING! We all can only aspire to that level of proficiency in drawing and painting!
Thank you Florent, for me and my opinion a good drawing says an awful lot about the artist and the subject matter. Drawing and the study of subject matter for me is the essence of a good painting. Drawing is everything.
I have a great admiration for the drawing, It's the fundamental back bone to great art. Drawings can be better than a painting, I'm not a fan of Watteau's paintings but find his drawings more compelling. There seems to be an immediacy element to drawing and the control and mastery of the line, the flow and relation of the line to the subject. Simply great beyond talent just total involvement in a quest for perfection.
Thank you, thank you. I agree (think) that the use of line (hatching) produces a wonderful effect and the line directs the eye and shades at the same time. Best David
Add something like arrows or circle the specific area u r talking about , some of us don't know exactly what you are focusing on ,also when u show the whole work our eyes always glide everywhere so it's had to Focus but thanks cause u did the video
Thanks for this excellent video. However, I have seen the Madonna of the Rocks in the National Gallery in London, and it is, to me, one of the greatest painting in the world. (I have seen the one in the Louvre as well.) This drawing is a magnificent drawing, but I would disagree that it is more successful than the full painting.
Bonjour Florent, Merci pour ton travail de pédagogue. Tu parles de la ligne dans sa dimension technique et optique mais tu ne la relies pas aux choix picturaux faits par Léonard. Par exemple, pourquoi cette pose ? pourquoi la finesse de la lèvre supérieure ? pourquoi le bombé de son front, la forme de ses yeux ?de son nez ?etc etc c'est essentiellement ces choix de Léonard qui donnent naissance à ce visage idéal, spirituel et puissamment humain à la fois, les traits sur le papier n'en sont qu'un conséquence. En montrant en parallèle des dessins que tu réalises manifestement d'après photo tu te montre infidéle à la leçon de Léonard. Ce serait plus pédagogique que tu tentes de refaire le même dessin. Tu serais implicitement forcé d'assumer ton infériorité face au génie du maître ( comme nous tous )mais gagnerais en mérite et commencerais un chemin plus spirituel et moins soumis à la tyrannie optique qui ravage le monde de la peinture depuis les années 80'. Oui je sais ! la critique est facile, l'art est difficile.

Great point
Yes, I agree. Photorealism is very boring
This drawing is among one of my favorites. It is pure gracefulness.

I loved this most informative instruction, thank you - The lessons of the masters are continuously relevant, never fall into disuse
"lines following the direction of the light source" this always occured to me somehow but never could think of a way how to tell it. Now observing Da Vinci's study with your insights have enlightened me. Thanks for this and please keep it up!!!
I am I obsessed with Da Vinci
So much 5o learn from that little drawing. It is truly a masterpiece. Thank you for discussing it so fully.
Da Vinci is my all time favourite celebrity there is. His dedication in art with scientist is truely something great that help us all!
ive been drawing in metal point for about a year now, absolutely love it
I love the way you articulate! I have learned a lot in a few sentences.
i like this drawing there something so beautiful about it the longer i look at it i feel like it is alive

It's not so much about it being more successful, it's a different medium. An underrated medium. Drawing is more direct.
Brilliant analysis of DaVinci's genius in drawing. Yes! The line is EVERYTHING! We all can only aspire to that level of proficiency in drawing and painting!
Très intéressant comme analyse et voir les tâtonnements, les recherches entre la crayon, la main et l'esprit, c'est toujours passionnant. Merci
Love this drawing by Leonardo da Vinci!
Your explanations are as exquisite as the drawing itself. Thank you!
Thank you Florent, for me and my opinion a good drawing says an awful lot about the artist and the subject matter. Drawing and the study of subject matter for me is the essence of a good painting. Drawing is everything.
Love this drawing by Leonardo.
Excellent analysis my friend. Thank you.
So beautiful it’s an honor to watch. Thx for sharing sir.
Beautiful breakdown bro
Thank you Florent for this video-I do think it is a beautiful, fluid work of DaVinci’s

Yes, I too like the drawing even more than the resultant paintings. Reminds me of Singer Sargent’s sketches
its simple and more beautiful because its a drawing .luv it
It feels still in motion ,still alive
Thank you, thank you. I agree (think) that the use of line (hatching) produces a wonderful effect and the line directs the eye and shades at the same time. Best David
Well-explained! Thanks Florent.
I agree with you, its exquisite!
Thanks for your observations, very useful points.
Drawing is essential. You need a good skill of drawing to produce a good painting...at least for figurative painting.
Great tip on pencil. It does improve the drawing

Great ❤❤❤

The London version painting of angel Uriel is the greatest. This metal drawing study is just that - it's an experimental study
Tis chalk n cheese
Nicely described!
Very interesting!
I loved this YT vid!!!
thank you for all those informations it's very instructive :)
u r amazing sir u explained very well .
Thanks so much you're awesome ♥
I love you
Interesting
agree

Looks like brittany broski
Equally successful I'd say.
He was good, with my help he could have been the best:)
One assumes he was a leftie ?
IL been dommage que LA langue de Moliere passe a la trappe ...C'est regrettable !
